📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lorient beat Angers 2-0 at Stade du Moustoir, Regular Season - 22, in the Ligue 1. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Lorient 1.30 xG and Angers 0.98 xG, a combined 2.28. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Angers landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lorient attack 0.99 / defence 1.11 against Angers attack 0.74 / defence 0.87, drawn from 21/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lorient 44% | Draw 28% | Angers 28%, with Lorient to win its most likely call at 44%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 40%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 66% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lorient 53%, Angers 31%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lorient's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one.

Angers's trading profile (55 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Lorient arrived the stronger side — 1.80 PPG against 1.18. Form held, and they took the win. Lorient (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.04 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 4 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
